We are delighted to announce the launch of an innovative new programme for young adult learners aged 16 – 17 years old. It has been designed to give your teenager a truly rewarding English learning experience. Our courses are based on the latest developments in teaching English and use the most up to date age-specific resources and materials.
Our Young Adult Programme courses aim to:
- provide young adults with a positive experience to develop their enjoyment of English
- develop young adults’ confidence and skills when speaking and interacting with others
- provide sophisticated materials for today’s modern youth
- raise their awareness of the importance of English as a medium of international communication
We have four language levels and each takes a full academic year (over four 10-week terms) to complete. This provides young adults with 240 hours of learning per level:
Young Adult Elementary -> Young Adult Pre Intermediate -> Young Adult Intermediate -> Young Adult Upper Intermediate
We achieve our aims through:
- learning objectives shared with the young adults as can-do statements
- cultural topics and literacy content which encourages critical thinking
- authentic interviews with speakers from all over the world
- development of functional competence, writing and study skills
- individualised support for each young adult according to their ability
Assessment is based on the achievement of the can-do statements and showcased in Learning Portfolios where the children keep evidence of their learning from the year. Each 60-hour term, your child will receive a report showing their progress. They will receive a certificate at the end of the 240-hour academic year.
Primary Learners have three 2-hour lessons each week. These lessons are either Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays or Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.
To find out your child or teenagers' level, s/he will take a written placement test and a short interview with one of our teachers.
Kyats 290,000 per term plus fees for materials.
